Extra-intense flavour

Our most intense Emmentaler AOP with a distinctive tang.

For those who love extra-strong cheeses.

A complex aroma of savoury herbs and fresh roots.

A slightly earthy, woody flavour with a subtle sweetness.

Firm and pleasantly dry on the tongue.

Perfect for adding a kick in the kitchen.

Lends your meal that special something.

«We love serving tangy, spicy Emmentaler AOP Extra seasoned with coarsely ground pepper or baked in flaky pastry. As an accompaniment, we recommend fruity, full-bodied Merlot Notte a San Martino from Lake Garda.»

Traditional craft since time immemorial. Extra-long ripening in the cheese cellar.

Gérine Oeschger, Emmentaler show dairy

Powerful flavour thanks to its particularly long ripening time.

Each wheel is carefully selected by an expert jury.

Which cheese will become Extra? Only the best of the best.

Only cheese of the highest quality is suitable for the long ripening period of at least 12 months.

The cheese is stored in a high-humidity cellar and washed with brine for up to three years.

A perfectly ripened example of exquisite craftsmanship.
